Fifty examples were built and were initially used to haul express passenger trains on the, then non-electrified, section of the West Coast Main Line between Crewe and Scotland.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThey were originally hired from English Electric Leasing and were eventually purchased outright by BR around 1973. Class 50s were nicknamed \"Hoovers\" by rail enthusiasts because of the distinctive sound made by the air-filters originally fitted. These proved unreliable and were removed during mid-life refurbishment, but the \"Hoover\" nickname stuck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOnce the electrification of the line from Crewe to Glasgow was completed, the locomotives were moved to services in the southwest of England, primarily on the mainline from London to Exeter.
